Prototype. Experiment. Build Gallup’s next generation of products.

As a senior software engineer at Gallup, you’ll push the boundaries of what our technology can do. You’ll design and deliver full-stack solutions, use rapid feedback loops to test ideas and help turn successful prototypes into scalable, production-ready systems. Your code, ideas and technical decisions will shape solutions that measure people’s work and life experiences, influence leaders’ decision-making, and deliver insights to customers more frequently and in a more personal way.

If you’re driven by curiosity, collaboration and the chance to create technology that empowers millions around the world, apply today.

What You’ll Do

Design, build and ship experimental product features end-to-end, from database schema and API endpoints to UI components and deployment pipelines
Write production-quality code across the stack: Node.js/Python backends, data models, RESTful APIs and modern JavaScript front ends with hands-on debugging and performance optimization
Prototype with emerging AI technologies (e.g., LLMs, embeddings, agents) by implementing working integrations, running experiments and providing technical recommendations based on real performance data
Architect and implement scalable systems from scratch, making concrete decisions on frameworks, infrastructure, caching strategies and deployment approaches
